Yes, even the idea of ICTD was born at G 8 meetings, wrapped in very
alien ideologies, and it has never recovered from this accident of its
birth. We in devleoping countries know how we suffer this fact, and how
ICTD consequently has remained distanced from traditional development
practice. As a result, the best opportunities of ICTs for development
have not been able to be realized.

Hi Norbert<br>
<br>
This issue is treated briefly in an article titled '
<style type="text/css">p { margin-bottom: 0.21cm; }</style>From
Social Enterprises to
Mobiles—Seeking a Peg to Hang a Premeditated ICTD Theory
' by my colleague at IT for Change, Anita Gurumurthy, <span
class="f"><cite></cite></span> published in the journal '
<style type="text/css">p { margin-bottom: 0.21cm; }</style><em>Information
Technologies &
International Development</em>. The article can be accessed at <span
class="f"><cite><b>itidjournal.org/itid/article/viewFile/624/264</b>
</cite></span>. It is a part of a special edition of the ITID
journal (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://itidjournal.org/itid/issue/view/37">http://itidjournal.org/itid/issue/view/37</a>) that brought
together lectures delivered at the Second Harvard Forum on ICTD, and
includes a piece by Amartya Sen.<br>

will contain, but I tend to think that it should contain besides
positive information about the impact of various IG-related fora also
references to such criticism.)
